【Chapter 46】The Queen's Concerns
After some time, Izzy took the frightened little girl back to the hall of the Prado Castle, where the battle had long since ended, and the corpses of the guards were lying on the blood-stained ground, while the Cold Light Guards and other people, as well as the defected soldiers, stood quietly in place, at this time, I saw Izzy taking the little girl's hand, slowly coming to the throne in the middle, and under the gaze of the people, he raised the long knife in his hand, "We have won!"
With Yiqi's shout, the originally quiet crowd instantly erupted into a burst of cheers, and even those soldiers who had just defected did not distinguish their own camp, waving their hands to their heart's content, enjoying the glory of victory without any scruples. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at this time, the corners of Izzy's mouth also showed a relaxed and relieved smile, but the little girl beside her was still staring at everything in front of her in shock.
At Izzy's orders, the citizens and soldiers in the castle hall were dismissed, and the Coldlight Guards cleaned the floor of the mess of corpses and bloodstains. Izzy sat on the throne in the center, he raised his hand, gently wiped the blood from the little girl's face, and looked at her with a smile, "What's your name?"
Seeing that the little girl didn't speak for a long time, he sighed softly, reached out and stroked her little head, trying not to make the little girl feel frightened and scared because of the scene just now, but he also understood that such a bloody picture, this great damage even adults could not bear, let alone this young heart. "I'm not going to hurt you, it's all over. As she spoke, Izzy took the little girl in her arms, but she only snuggled up to him with a pair of frightened eyes with an expressionless face.
At this moment, Yanna, Afra and Aidi, the three of them, escorted by Gaudian, walked into the hall. "Izzy!" Yeona called out angrily and walked straight to the steps, she didn't know why Izzy was holding a little girl on the throne, and the others didn't understand what was going on, so they froze in place. At this time, Izzy silently put his hand to his mouth and motioned for Yanna not to speak.
He slowly lifted the little girl's head and made her stand in front of him again. "I'm going to play with my sister for a while, okay. Izzy said, gently pushing the little girl towards Yeonna. Yeona turned to take her, only to see an innocent little face that greeted her, just staring blankly at a pair of eyes that widened with fear.
"What ......is this?" Yanna took the little girl's weak little hand and looked at Izzy suspiciously, only to see Izzy sigh softly, "I was in the castle just now, rescued her, she was frightened, you take care of her." Hearing this, Yanna nodded her head and put on a cute smile to the little girl, "Come with me......" Seeing that the little girl nodded silently, Yanna took her little hand and walked out.
"Afra!" Izzy called out her name, and Afra turned back to him and looked at him squarely, "You change your armor, and then take your troops and sweep the castle and the streets to see if there are any enemies who are hiding, and by the way, to appease the people of Prado." His steady and serious voice suddenly made Afra feel puzzled, and an inexplicable expression appeared on his face, because at this time, Izzy's tone seemed like an order to refuse.
At this time, Aidi on the side saw the problem and gently pulled Afra's arm. Afra clasped her hands into fists, said "yes" unhappily, and walked out quickly.
Before she could walk out, Izzy sat on the throne and looked at the delightful Gaudian on the side, but he forgot his name, only his young face, "What's your name?" "Sergeant Gaudien." He was a little nervous when he heard Izzy ask his name, but he was quick to answer him.
"Sir, Sergeant is the rank you just promoted to me......" "I know, Sergeant Gaudien, now with our troops, call the surrendered soldiers and civilians to the square, where I will make a post-war declaration in a moment. When he heard that Izzy had not completely forgotten about the promotion he had just made, his face suddenly showed a burst of joy, and after saying yes seriously, he walked out quickly.
After the two left, Izzy leaned comfortably on the throne, and put his hands on the armrests on both sides, stroking constantly, as if thinking about something. At this time, Edi stepped up the steps with graceful steps and stood beside him, "Congratulations, Mistress Izzy. ”
Hearing the voice of Aidi, Izzy immediately looked at her suspiciously, only to see a beautiful face with a charming smile. But Izzy only smiled shallowly, and put on an unaware look, "What is there to congratulate?" Looking at Izzy's appearance, Edi smiled and walked to the back of the throne.
A pair of slender and slender jade hands gently put on Izzy's shoulders and kneaded them, which suddenly made Izzy feel very comfortable, he closed his eyes, and then the soft and graceful voice of Aidi came into his ears in bursts, "Lord Izzy, congratulations on becoming the lord of this Prado, you will have your own city in the future, maybe this country will be different because of this." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Izzy's mouth curled up slightly, "Hehe, it seems that nothing can be hidden from our Aidi lady, so what can you tell me about what I will do next?" "Revolution, a great revolution that overthrows Sapro......" Aidi said softly, her gentle voice, soft and graceful, enough to make anyone swoon. Izzy was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of the gate with an expressionless face.
"Aidi, you are very smart, this is indeed a revolution, a revolution that can subvert everything......" "Then should I change my name to Lord Lord, or Lord King?" Before Aidi finished speaking, Izzy slowly stood up, "Aidi, don't forget our starting point." This is a battle of redemption, we are the dawn of dawn to dispel the endless darkness, and I am not a lord or a king. With that, Izzy walked down the stairs without looking back, and under the surprised gaze of Edi, his back gradually disappeared into the gate.
At noon, the bright sun poured on the castle of Prado, so that the originally cold and solemn gray walls, eased down a lot, after all, the sun is warm, and the sunshine at this time is to make people's hearts, feel the light that has never been there, the refreshing breeze, blowing on people's faces, bringing a little coolness, those soldiers who have just experienced the battle, while enjoying the breeze and sunshine, the most fortunate thing is that they are still alive and well, unlike their wounded companions, and dead enemies......
At Izzy's orders, the people gathered in the square. The Prado soldiers stood in front of the stand and stood in formation. The heavily armed Coldlight Guards, sword in one hand, stood in a circle around them. In order to prevent people from suddenly moving, but also to prevent those noisy people from crowding forward.
Soon after, Izzy and Yanna, escorted by several Coldlight Guards, made their way through the crowd to the platform, and looked at the soldiers who had surrendered looking at each other, and the frightened and young faces, Izzy coughed lightly and walked to the edge of the platform, people knew that he was going to speak, and suddenly there was silence around them.
"Who are all of you from Prado?" Izzy asked calmly, and as one soldier raised his hand, the other soldiers slowly raised their hands, and after that, countless people around them also raised their hands. At this point, Izzy smiled, which eased everyone's nervousness, but they still didn't know what their fate would be.
Although it was the first time that a city had been captured in Sapro's age, everyone knew the cruelty of war, and the rumors of the massacre of prisoners after the war terrified every soldier who defected. "You are all the people of Prado and the victims of this war. I know that under the tyrannical rule of Kurad, you have no choice but to be at their mercy, but now that I have taken this place with my army, so you are also liberated, and I give you the right to choose, you can choose to take off your armor and return home, and be a safe citizen, or you can choose to leave here, but no matter what, I will give you some money to start your life again. ”
Izzy's words suddenly silenced everyone around him, and they all looked at him with surprised expressions, but only Yanna stood silently behind him, showing a sweet smile. "I'll tell you the truth, this war is far from over, and it's just the beginning. Now that the situation in the north is chaotic, the Black Prince will definitely send a large army again to sweep us away, and if he succeeds, a new tyrant will appear in the north to rule here. ”
At this point, he paused and continued, "Of course, you can also choose to fight with me, and I welcome those who are willing to fight alongside me. The brutal Kurad, known as the Prado Demon, provoked this senseless war in the Straits of the Stars, causing the North to be ravaged by war, displacing everyone and bereaving their loved ones, and we must not let this happen again, so we will follow ...... together."
Izzy said, took a step back to the side, and swung her arms to Yanna behind her, all eyes were on her for a while, which made her nervous, and hurriedly looked at Izzy, "Izzy...", but Izzy ignored her and continued. This is our old king, the daughter of the white-haired Sitis, and this is also the dawn of this chaotic world sent to us by the gods, it is under her leadership that we have captured Prado all the way, and will also be led by her to completely save this world, so she is the supreme queen of our Sapro!"
After Izzy finished speaking, before the people could understand what was going on, suddenly in the crowd, I don't know who shouted, "This is a betrayal!" Izzy hurriedly heard the voice, but he didn't find out who said "betrayal? Who did we betray?" At this time, I don't know where another voice came, "Betrayed the kingdom, and those nobles' lackeys!" Just as he finished shouting, the crowd was in an uproar, but soon after, everyone laughed, this sentence can be said to be a great irony of the kingdom's rule.
At this time, Izzy also smiled a little kindly, raised his hands, and motioned for people to be quiet, "Yes, we did betray the kingdom, and this is also a rebellion, but I ask you to think carefully about who betrayed whom first, the ruler of the kingdom, regardless of the cruelty caused by the war, let us suffer a lot, and it is under the rule of that distant conspiracy that Kurad will cause trouble in the north, so the real culprit is the ruler of the kingdom, the black prince Conseth, who brutally killed his father and usurped the supreme throne." And I am sure that he will not spare any of the people present because he does not want things to continue to repeat themselves, so after that, it is a question of whether Prado continues to exist or not. ”
As soon as Izzy finished speaking, the crowd began to talk again, some people nodded silently in agreement, others expressed doubts about his words, and more people were discussing with each other.
"Be quiet, listen to me, you must listen carefully to what I have to say. Izzy coughed heavily as he spoke, and continued, "Each of us is born equal, but why is there so much distinction between high and low now, I believe that even the great emperor at the beginning would not have thought that the current world has become a tool for those rulers to vent their lust for power. Do you know why there are officials in the kingdom, because when we are united, we need a center of gravity, checks and balances, and they need them to protect us, and remind us not to hurt each other for our own selfishness. However, in the current world, those so-called nobles, so-called lords, under the protection of the rulers, are greedy and corrupt, arbitrarily wielding power, and even trampling on us ruthlessly because of a little petty profit, or for the sake of so-called face. It is because of the chaos we are facing now that the gods have sent such a noble queen to us, so that we may overthrow their shadowy rule and change our own destiny!"
Izzy's steady and powerful voice penetrated everyone's hearts, and at this time, Yanna just stood there stunned, staring at a pair of big eyes full of doubts, silently watching everything in front of her. "Now I declare that Prado is officially liberated, and our Yanna, the daughter of the white-haired Citis, is the Most High Queen according to the will of the gods!"
"We swear to follow the queen to the death!" I don't know when, Gaudian stood in front of the soldiers in the square with a few cold light guards, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly. There was silence for a moment, and all the soldiers followed suit, and the people cheered loudly.
Seeing this, Izzy's heart was deeply relieved, and it seemed that his plan had achieved the expected effect, but at this moment, Yanna broke free of his hand and walked off the platform with some anger. The lively crowd didn't care, and Izzy didn't step forward to stop her, because he understood what she was thinking at this time......
On this day, from morning to night, Izzy and the others were very busy, because not only to deal with the prisoners of war, but also to pacify the people, he even sealed half of the materials and wealth that Kurad had sealed in the warehouse and distributed it. After that speech, Yanna took the little girl to a room in the castle and never went out.
In the evening, when Izzy was busy and came to the room where Yanna was, he knocked lightly on the door, and saw that there was no one inside, so he had to walk away silently. Soon after, Afra came too, she knocked on the door, but there was still no answer inside, and after a while, she knocked again, but there was still no response, and then she felt a faint worry, and her hand gradually became stronger.
“...... Get out" Afra stood at the door, faintly hearing Yanna's shouting inside, then she slowly lowered her hand and said softly, "It's me, Yanna, open the door quickly." ”
After a while, when Yeona heard Afra's voice, she slowly opened the door. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that it was spacious and comfortable, with pink walls and lovely decorations around the furniture, and she knew at first glance that it was a little girl's room, surrounded by a fresh fragrance.
Afra gently closed the door and went to the bedside, where she sat down next to Yeonna. The little girl changed into a big set of clothes, and was holding a cotton wool puppet, lying on the bed in a daze. Seeing this, Afra smiled, "Looking at it this way, you really resemble this kid." ”
"Afra, do you know about Izzy?" Yanna sat on the side and said silently, burying her head deeply, never raising it, "You know, aren't we already victorious, and you are also the queen now." Afra said, and couldn't help laughing, she had thought that Izzy was going to be the lord of Prado, but she didn't expect that Izzy had bigger plans, and he also put Yanna on the throne, which was also a good result in Afra's opinion.
Hearing Afra's incomprehensible words, Yanna turned her head and glared at her, her pursed little mouth showing a hint of stubbornness on that cute little face. This couldn't help but make Afra stop smiling instantly, "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be a queen at all!"
Yeonna said angrily, which confused Afra, "Isn't it good to be a queen? you can lead us all ...... in the future" "Do you know why Izzy kept me by his side." Hearing her question, Afra smiled lightly again.
"Because you are kind, beautiful......" "Because I am the daughter of the white-haired Sitis." Hearing Yanna's extraordinarily serious tone, Afra's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and her white and pretty cheeks became deeper, and the corners of her bright eyes became a hint of sharpness, "What!?" "......"
